wood cut

let's get traditional... My love at art school was ( and still is ) print making ..maybe because it is so umm graphic and exacting... I fell in love with Japanese wood cuts and still get a thrill at the whole process from the cutting to the inking and printing .. ( I say this all now sounding romantic and dreamy.. but I know there were times of frustration and allmost going postal! Getting a print done PERFECT and then leaving a big dirty smudge on the side AAARGGGG! or almost having to go to the hospital because I've got a lino cutting tool sticking out of my hand.. nothing like a bit of fluid to compleate the blood sweat and tears trillogy!) Well it's all worth it there's lessons to to learnt ( allways cut AWAY from you when using a cutting tool )
